ARBITRATIONS AND AWARDS 233 



(c) If the arbitrator has been guilty of gross carelessness, 

 which may amount to judicial misconduct (In re Hall and Hinds, 

 1841, 2 M. & G. 847). 



In addition to the above, it is now competent for either 

 party to apply to the Court before the award is given in order 

 to have the arbitrator kept right in a point of law. 



It is to be observed, however, that the jurisdiction of the 

 Court in this respect is consultative only, so that no appeal 

 lies from the Divisional Court to the Court of Appeal without 

 special leave. 



As to a compulsory reference in court, the parties, as has 

 already been pointed out, are entitled to an appeal as from 

 the verdict of a jury.
